Abstract (en)

A screw positioning and feeding attachment to a power screwdriver advances screws in a tape one-by-one as the preceding screw in a screw tape is screwed in by pushing a slide assembly (2), in contact with a board or sheet for example, into a slide housing (1). Different lengths of screws are accomodated by an adjustable extension (25) of the slide assembly (2). The proximal end (9) of the extension (25), at the end of its inward stroke, strikes against a spirally curved abutment disc (8) which can be rotated for fine adjustment of the final depth of the screw head. Since the extension (25) travelling in a groove in the slide housing (1) is directed towards the axis of rotation of the spirally curved disc, which always presents a nearly perpendicular striking surface, the disc will not be rotated out of adjustment by the repeated impact of the extension (25). <IMAGE>
